Z is a slow burn of a movie that can be a struggle to get through, although the very least liked Keegan Connor Tracy, just a shame she didn’t get a better script to work with.
Supergirl: The Complete Fifth Season still has similar struggles from its previous season with the writing and storytelling, and similar troubles to the later seasons of Arrow, but I still like Melissa Benoist in the role.
Paramount Home Entertainment releases the Gunsmoke: Movie Collection, which includes Return to Dodge, The Last Apache and To the Last Man, onto DVD in one set, though the discs were previously released individually.
The Flash: The Complete Sixth Season is still the best of the CW DC shows thanks in large part to the performance by Grant Gustin and a nice ensemble cast, especially Candice Patton and Tom Cavanagh, and some decent storylines.
Superman: Man of Tomorrow is the beginnings of a new animated universe now that the previous New 52 inspired one concluded. The animation style is my biggest question mark but I did enjoy the introductions for both Lobo and Martian Manhunter.
Bad Education tells an interesting story in one of the more uninteresting ways, as it’s not terribly engaging. That being said, Hugh Jackman gives yet another amazing performance.
At times Ghost can be a bit on the cheesy side but the performances of Patrick Swayze, Demi Moore and Whoopi Goldberg sell it just enough to make it an effective supernatural romantic drama.
Magnum P.I.: Season Two stars Jay Hernandez and Perdita Weeks and arrives on DVD September 1st. Features include the cross-over episode with Hawaii Five-O, a couple of featurettes and a gag reel.
The Naked City is a well done crime-drama that certainly was done in an interesting style with a documentary-like narration and filming on location in New York City.
Marriage Story is a bittersweet drama featuring two incredible, award-worthy, performances (not to take away from Laura Dern who was great in her own right) by both Scarlett Johansson and Adam Driver.
The House by the Cemetery might have its merits and perhaps die-hard fans of Lucio Fulci may find it entertaining, but for myself it was more confusing and even tedious. However, the 4K release does have great video and audio transfers.
Tales from the Darkside: The Movie has two decent stories, one was dull and the other, the wrap-around, so-so. Still, it’s an anthology film worth checking out.
Deathstroke: Knights and Dragons is a well done animated movie and good enough substitution for a live action feature that is unlikely to happen. I did like the story, bridging together the character’s interesting backstory.
Batwoman is pretty much in line with other CW shows, meaning the writing, and dialogue, aren’t exactly top notch and here even the acting never quite jives, even Ruby Rose whom I really like, never fit.
